Chronic total occlusion successfully treated with a bioresorbable everolimus-eluting vascular scaffold

چکیده
Fully bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) are a new approach to the percutaneous treatment of coronary artery disease. The BVS have not yet been fully tested in complex lesions, including chronic total occlusion (CTO). We report a CTO case successfully treated with a second-generation bioabsorbable drug-eluting scaffold.

Clinical Outcomes From The Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold: Is There A Role for Them?
The risk of stent thrombosis and restenosis with the second generation drug eluting stents remains. The bioresorbable vascular scaffold is a third generation stent and overcomes the problems associated with drug eluting metallic stents. The bioresorbable vascular scaffold completely absorbs within the coronary vessel over 3-5 years. Multiple trials in patients with non complex coronary disease ...
متن کاملBioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Use in a Case of In-stent Restenosis
Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) demonstrate favourable outcomes in patients with stable coronary disease with simple de novo coronary lesions1,2 and are considered the “fourth revolution” in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) technology. BVS represent a promising alternative to drug-eluting stents (DES) while offering the same advantages. We present the first case of in-stent reste...

BACKGROUND Data from randomized controlled trials have shown that the ABSORB BVS is non-inferior to Cobalt Chromium everolimus-eluting stents at 2years. METHODS & RESULTS The EVERBIO II trial (Comparison of Everolimus- and Biolimus-Eluting Coronary Stents with Everolimus-Eluting Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold) is a single-center, assessor-blind, randomized controlled trial enrolling 240 pati...

AIMS The treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains challenging. Small case series have described successful utilisation of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) (Absorb; Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) to treat ISR. We report our experience with this novel approach. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with ISR in native coronary arteries undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...
متن کاملTwo-year Optical Coherence Tomography Findings after Balloon-Only Treatment of Bioresorbable Scaffold Restenosis in a Calcified Coronary Lesion: A Case Report
We report a case of a 65-year-old female patient treated with an everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) after rotational atherectomy of a severely calcified lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The implanted BRS restenosed 10 months after implantation and was treated with a scoring balloon followed by drug-eluting balloons with good immediate and long-term results. T...
